Wishing to go on exploring new and varied musical styles and aesthetics, Ensemble Aleph organizes the Sixth International Forum for Young Composers. The Forum aims to promote artistic exchanges between composers and performers.
10 works will be selected by the members of the Ensemble Aleph in April, 2009
The 10 selected composers will be the guests of a residency in August, 2009 for music sessions with the Ensemble Aleph at the Chartreuse of Villeneuve-lèz-Avignons. This summer session will end with a preview concert. A Logbook, including the recording of the 10 pieces will be distributed to the audience before each concert. The 10 musical works will be performed at the Theatre Dunois in Paris and in at least 6 European countries.
